What time is the Northumberland Plate race at Newcastle Racecourse on Saturday?

In a turn up for the books, the weather forecast is actually looking rather good for the weekend in Newcastle, meaning there should be plenty of sunshine for the Northumberland Plate Festival.

Always the biggest event at Newcastle Racecourse, Plate Day pulls in loads of punters year after year, who all dressed to impress to have a fluter on the day's racing programme.

The Betfair Exchange Northumberland Plate Festival will get going on Thursday, June 27, before Gosforth Park Cup Night on Friday, June 28 and the big one - Betfair Exchange Northumberland Plate Day on Saturday, June 29.

One of the other highlights of the Plate Day race card is Betfair Exchange Chipchase Stakes, but of course the big one is the Betfair Exchange Northumberland Plate.

If you have your Plate Day tickets, it's important that you're aware of the Plate Day timings and the Newcastle Racecourse dress code.

And you'll want to know what time the big race is for too:

Gates open: 11am

First race (of eight): 1.50pm

Northumberland Plate: 3.35pm

Best Dressed Male final: 4.20pm (Winners Enclosure)

Last Race: 5.50pm

Madness on stage - around 6.20pm until 8ish
